equipment you can trust- advice from experts
Choosing scuba equipment should be exciting—not overwhelming. With so many choices, brands, online reviews, and price tags competing for your attention, it’s easy to ask: “What do I really need—and how do I know I’m making the right choice?”
That’s where High Plains Scuba Center comes in.
We believe the right equipment does more than look good or fit a budget—it builds confidence. It helps you feel comfortable, prepared, and ready to enjoy every dive. So, we carefully narrow the field for you, selecting equipment based on performance, value, reliability, and—most importantly—the manufacturer support behind it.
We carry brands such as Zeagle, Oceanic, Hollis, Scubapro, Mares, and others because they have earned our confidence over time. We don’t choose equipment by chance; we choose it because it works, performs, represents a solid value, and is backed by companies that stand behind what they make.
When you purchase from High Plains Scuba Center, you are not simply buying a regulator, BCD, mask, or dive computer. You are investing in your comfort, confidence, and enjoyment underwater—and you have a knowledgeable local team standing behind that investment.
Why Local Matters
Buying scuba equipment online can look simple: click, ship, unpack, and hope it fits and performs the way you expected. But scuba equipment is life-support equipment. If a mask leaks, a BCD fits poorly, a regulator is not set up correctly, or a computer is more complicated than you expected, an online retailer cannot step onto the pool deck with you, make adjustments, or help solve the problem before your trip.
At HPSC, you can try equipment in our pool before you purchase it. You can check the fit, test the comfort, see how it performs in the water, and make sure it is right for you before you take it home. Our team can help properly size and adjust your equipment, answer questions face-to-face, and make sure you understand how it works.
That means fewer surprises on a dive boat, in a quarry, or on the first day of a long-awaited vacation. You do not want your first real test of new gear to be when you are hundreds of miles from home and ready to get in the water.
For example, when you purchase a regulator from HPSC, you can expect quality equipment with service support designed to keep it performing for years to come. We provide complimentary setup and tuning of new air-delivery systems purchased from us, hassle-free exchanges on equipment purchased through HPSC, and complimentary pool time after a complete regulator service so you can get comfortable with your equipment before your next dive.
Because the best dive equipment is not just the gear you own—it’s the confidence you have when you use it. And confidence is a whole lot easier to pack when you know your equipment fits, works, and has a local team behind it.

Owning vs. Renting Your Total Diving System
Remember, your Total Diving System is your life support equipment, and requires maintenance at regular intervals!
The Benefits of Ownership
You know that you are maintaining it, if something has happened to the unit that bears greater scrutiny and it has far less wear and tear on it than a rental.
Generally you have purchased a unit that has greater performance, you know how it is configured and therefore your have greater comfort, confidence and safety with your equipment.
Rental Equipment Considerations
Though financially more appealing, rental equipment begs the question of how often is it being serviced? Manufacturers suggest a 100 dive cycle over 2 years for most regulators. With a low average usage of 3 dives a day/ 6 days a week/ 52 weeks a year… are rentals being serviced 10 times a year? I doubt it. Also are the 2nd stages being cleaned between rentals. Did the last person to use it get sick in it or leave the dust cap off while rinsing the reg??!
